Are there any listening-reading resources for Indonesian (or Malay) that can be purchased online (shipping to
Europe)? If not, any recommendations for news services publishing audio and transcripts?

I don't know about audiobooks in Indonesian, but NHK offers a news program that updates twice daily in Indonesian that has its script, both online, at: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/radio/program/16lang. html

There's no archive of the episodes as far as I know, so you only have what's up when you're looking at it. I've downloaded the mp3 and copy and pasted the scripts into word files a few times, so you can build up your own resources that way.

Thanks, raincrowlee. I had hoped I wouldn't have to rely on NHK... if their Thai service is anything to go by, than
this will be a stilted super-official podcast focused almost completely on Japan.

I just had a look... it looks like it's actually identical to the Thai program which isn't too bad in terms of L-R.

While we're at it, do you happen to know whether VoA or BBC publish scripts?

I hope this helps. The audio/transcripts are not very long but it does give you quite an insight into the culture. It
also makes obvious the differences between Bahasa Indonesia and what people actually speak! At least it did for
me but then again, I'm a beginner.
And they're free :-)
